The strength of the Sherrin football originated from the quality leather football product. As we know it today Sherrin offers a vast range of balls that vary in size, colour and material that serves the needs of the great game "Australian Rules Footballs".

Over the years the Sherrin brand has developed and sold other products in other sports such as boxing, cricket, Netball, Basketball and soccer but the family soon realised the Aussie Rules products had the most potential and was so unique that it specialised in football making. The Kangaroo Brand Sherrin or better known as the KB is the most iconic product in football.

There are several styles of Sherrin, and the Kangaroo Brand, or Sherrin KB, is the Rolls Royce of Sherrins. The process still begins with leather picked from only the choicest hides from Collingwoods Joshua Pitt tannery, pared into panels and rolled manually. Groups of four panels compatible in feel and stress pattern, to be backed with canvas (which itself can be fixed only with a longitudinal grain). A heated stencil marks out the Sherrin name before the ball is three-quarter-sewn inside out. It is the only really automated part of the manufacture. Pushed into shape from within, the ball is then hand stitched for the last quarter of its length.

Latex bladders, imported from India, are inserted with a conjurers sleight of hand to leave the valve protruding. The ball is hand-laced with nylon which replaced kangaroo hide about 30 years ago before the second-last man on the production line pumps each to the optimum 69 kilopascals. The last man has the last word.
